Our motto is “Run for your life. It depends on it.” That, in a nutshell, sums up what were are about, and that is running, lots and lots of running, walking, and jogging. Our executive consists of a group of fifteen, like-minded individuals from a variety of different backgrounds with one common goal, and that goal is better health. Our members are a diverse bunch, ranging from just-off-the-couch novices to Tough Mudders and Tri-athletes, all sharing a love for running/walking.

Although our club is located in Wallaceburg, we encourage people from the surrounding area to join us for our social run/walks and to get involved in our Defiance Challenge.

Our club is passionate about what we do, and one of our main focuses is our youth program, which enables youth to become active at a level that best suits them.

Young or old, fit, or unfit, it doesn’t matter to our club; we welcome everyone. Our challenges do not put you up against others; our challenges put you up against you. It all begins with a single step… in the right direction.

The health benefits of walking and running are numerous and include:

Heart health

Increase in strength

Decrease in breathing issues such as asthma

Reduction in blood pressure

Improvement in mental health

An increase in bone density

Reduction of the effects of diabetes

Aids in reducing stress

And most importantly, it helps fight cancer

Scheduled Runs will take place every Monday and Wednesday @ 6pm, and we try to host a Friday night social run, once a month.

Members have access to our facebook page to post any runs, ask questions, post photos and keep up to date with the club.

Our adult memberships are a one year membership, which is one year in length from the date of purchase.

5th ANNUAL WAMBO RIVER RUN

THE DEFIANCE YOUTH PROGRAM

The Defiance Youth Program is a safe, effective walk/run program that can be modified to fit the need of any child.
This program is fun and will introduce a healthy lifestyle to children who may not, otherwise, have such an opportunity. Many children who are intimidated by other sports will embrace this challenge, and with luck, it will become a stepping stone to other activities.
